Marine & Boating
Whether you're manufacturing boat interiors, flotation devices, or hulls, our range of rigid and flexible foam solutions provide the versatility and reliability required for demanding marine environments.
Boat Interiors
From seating to built-in coolers and dashboards, our foam systems offer customizable solutions for applications that require a combination of durability, cushion, and aesthetics, providing comfort and enhancing the boating experience.
Seat Cushions
Our ComforThane HR foams offer the ideal balance of comfort and durability for long-lasting seating despite exposure to consistent use, moisture, and UV light.
Steering Wheels and Dashboards
Our integral skin foam systems provide a smooth, durable surface that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the boat’s interior, and with excellent tensile and tear strength, it ensures longevity and performance in marine environments.
Built-in-Coolers
NCFI’s CryoThane rigid pour foam can be used as void fill inside built-in coolers for boats, improving thermal insulation and keeping beverages and supplies cool for extended periods. Our rigid polyurethane foam helps reduce energy consumption by maintaining a consistent internal temperature, ensuring that coolers perform efficiently.
Flotation
Flotation is an essential feature for marine and boating applications, and our rigid pour foam systems are designed to meet safety regulations while providing long-lasting performance. Polyurethane foam plays an essential role in providing buoyancy and safety in marine applications, particularly in flotation devices, hulls, and docks. Our foam systems are designed to ensure that boats and watercraft are stable, safe, and reliable, whether it’s in the form of flotation devices or the internal flotation systems of boats.
Flotation Devices
For flotation devices such as life jackets, buoys, and more, CryoThane is fast curing, water resistant, and has high buoyancy, prioritizing safety in the water.
Hulls
By filling the voids in hulls with rigid polyurethane foam, manufacturers can increase the vessel’s stability and reduce the overall weight, ensuring better fuel efficiency and performance on the water. CryoThane systems are perfect for creating marine hulls with high flotation values.
Docks
Our foam solutions ensure that docks stay afloat, even in rough waters, and contribute to the overall longevity of the dock structure. Our CryoThane foam systems are well-suited for dock flotation applications, providing void fill and reliable buoyancy.
More Marine Applications
Beyond the applications highlighted above, our OEM polyurethane solutions can be customized for an even wider range of recreation. Our team will work with you to develop the right foam formulation for your unique needs.

The Advantages of Polyurethane in Marine & Boating
Durability
Whether it’s for boat interiors or flotation devices, polyurethane foams are built to withstand the test of time.
Comfort and Support
The resilience of our flexible foams provides a comfortable seating experience without compromising durability.
Lightweight
With low-density formulations, our foams provide excellent flotation properties, ensuring the safety and stability of boats and marine structures.
Quick Cure Times
The fast-reacting formulations ensure quick curing, allowing manufacturers to speed up production.
Eco-Friendly
CryoThane utilizes HFO-blown technology, which is low in global warming potential and ozone depletion.
